Denzel Washington Is the Classiest Man Alive

Tom Hanks gave a moving introduction—citing many a silver screen legend—and the video montage was powerful (cue the song “He Got Game”), but Denzel Washington brought down the house when he brought his whole family onstage to accept his Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the 73rd annual Golden Globes.

Amidst all of the show's booze and bleeped-out cursing, it was a moment that was real, touching, and as it should be. Washington’s wife of many years, Pauletta, and the couple’s children John David (31), Katia (28), and Olivia (24) all joined him. Another son, Malcolm (24), wasn't present, as he's in the midst of finishing his thesis at AFI. The best part? When Pauletta asked the American gangster if he needed his glasses—not once, but twice. It was normal, and it was nice.
